Sounds like your father was a wonderful person to know. He seems to have made everyone’s life a comfort to be around. He really seemed to touch a lot of peoples hearts and lived a very full and happy life himself. With Our Sincerest Sympathy’s. God Bless.
Love, John, Sandy & Ashley Doran
It’s hard to know just what to say at the sad time but Caroll your dad We’re sure know how much you cared for him, He sounds like a man we would have love to know. By all you have told us about him, we can see his love of God in you.
Thank you all for your kind and comforting words. Yes my dad was (is) my best friend. He showed me how to live a good life, to live as Jesus would have wanted, to show love and think of others. He showed me even in his death, I felt to live as his daughter he would have wanted me to keep peace and show love. I know with out a thought he will be leading the singing angel band to welcome me home the next time I see him.
I will miss you Grandpa, but so happy that you are finally reunited with Grandma Lucille Whippo after all these years. Your christian legacy lives on in me!!!!
Don’t forget Bernice was good to grandpa if it was not for her we mostly have lost grandpa a long time ago. She loved him and his family
Grandpa, I didn’t know you well, but from all I have heard from Grandma and mom, it would have been an honor and a pleasure to have known you better. I love and know you are in a better place with Jesus. You will be missed by us all.
